EVOLUTION OF AGRARIAN CULTURE FORMATION AND FACTORS OF ITS DEVELOPMENT

This article analyzes the stages of the formation of agrarian culture, its historical evolution, and the natural, social, economic,
technological, and cultural factors influencing its development. The study employs historical-comparative, systemic, civilizational,
and conceptual approaches. The paper substantiates that agrarian culture is not merely the practice of land cultivation or crop
production, but a complex socio-cultural system encompassing human interaction with nature, labor ethics, forms of land
ownership, local knowledge, breeding practices, water resource management, as well as norms of cooperation and collective life.
The findings indicate that the development of agrarian culture is closely associated with the transition from hunting and gathering
to settled agriculture, the emergence of irrigation systems, the deepening of the division of labor, the expansion of market relations,
industrialization, the “Green Revolution,” the introduction of digital technologies, and the advancement of agroecological
approaches. It is also emphasized that, at the present stage, the sustainable development of agrarian culture depends on the
harmonious integration of local experience, scientific achievements, environmental responsibility, infrastructure development,
rural institutions, and the education system.
